HAX 600-S Current Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HAX 600-S is an active Hall Effect current sensor manufactured by LEM USA Inc., designed for AC/DC current measurement applications requiring 600A sensing capability. This open-loop, bidirectional module delivers ratiometric voltage output with ±1% linearity and accuracy across a DC to 25kHz frequency range. The part maintains Active product status with 672 units in current inventory stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are maintained within the specified parameter tolerances for this sensor category. Alternative models may be required due to inventory availability, application-specific current range requirements, or supply chain considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HAX 600-S is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Sensor Type: Hall Effect, Open Loop
• Output Type: Ratiometric, Voltage
• Number of Channels: 1
• Frequency Response: DC ~ 25kHz
• Linearity: ±1%
• Accuracy: ±1%
• Supply Voltage: ±15V
• Response Time: 5µs
• Maximum Supply Current: 20mA
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 85°C
• Polarization: Bidirectional
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Package Type: Module
• RoHS Compliance: Required
• Manufacturer: LEM USA Inc.
• Series: HAX

Variable Parameter (Substitution Basis):

• Current Sensing Range: 500A to 600A

The HAX 500-S qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute because it maintains all mandatory electrical and mechanical specifications while operating within a reduced current sensing range of 500A. This substitution is valid for applications where the maximum current measurement requirement does not exceed 500A.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HAX 600-S Primary Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring current measurement up to 600A
• Systems with maximum anticipated current loads at or near 600A specification
• Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturer support and supply continuity
• RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications meet environmental regulatory requirements

HAX 500-S Substitution Criteria:

• Applications with maximum current measurement requirements not exceeding 500A
• Scenarios where HAX 600-S inventory is unavailable
• Systems designed for current ranges within the 500A specification
• Identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility within the reduced current range
• Active product status with higher inventory availability (5300 units in stock)
• Equivalent compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected)

Both parts maintain identical response characteristics, frequency response, accuracy specifications, and thermal operating ranges. Selection between HAX 600-S and HAX 500-S depends solely on the maximum current measurement requirement of the application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HAX 500-S replace HAX 600-S in all applications?

A: HAX 500-S is a valid substitute only when the application's maximum current measurement requirement does not exceed 500A.
